About to order one.

1.5 Tsing manual. 
any recommendations? Things to look out for ?

was amazed that I have had to spec dual zone climate for £625 as it came with standard manual heater controls ! Which for a top spec car is poor.

 

Dual zone climate is standard only on the SEL.

Monte Carlo trims are usually based on SE spec with some “ sporty” bits thrown in.

Thanks.

Which is ironic, as the latest brochure pens the model as the flagship — which it clearly isn’t then…

I am drawn to the pan roof and larger wheels and lowered suspension however, so I still think it’s a better option than the SEL.

Style over function or practicality is often the choice with Skoda trim levels.  Sporty looks without any more sporty performance with small of mid size models.

So it seems.

I am spending money having to spec up the Monte Carlo to the sel level. Such as dual climate, and wireless smart link, and keyless start. 
However it should be pretty good when delivered as it has the combo of both.

Shame Skoda do not offer performance accessories as they could make some

money here. As it is I will go to eibach for stiffer suspension and abt for some of their new styling goodies.

2010-2014 you could spec in the UK a new from the factory Mk2 Fabia vRS with 'Sports Suspension' other than the lower 'Sports Suspension' that the vRS or Monte Carlo had as standard and at the PDI Eibach springs were fitted.
